Cases of middle class people with problems were never outside. For years, Luis worked in the financial proceedings of Caja Madrid. Day after day, transacting trials unpaid roles. Gradually, he began to see the classic cases of defaulters are beginning to add new profiles, profiles of people not used to thicken before such lists, people who were not on the social margins, people of middle income. Little did he foresee that his 57 years, he would play fight not swell the lists. In unemployment, already, as his wife, unemployed since five years ago. Is the situation in such a hurry to make ends meet who have renounced credit cards this month and emerge from the Internet connection at home. Spending more than they can bear.
Luis tells his situation at the exit of the INEM office Méndez Álvaro, near Atocha station in Madrid. It is one of the many Spanish belonging to the middle class is hardly fitting the harsh impact of the crisis.

35.9% of Spanish households claims he has no ability to handle unforeseen expenses, according to the latest Survey of Living Conditions of the National Statistics Institute. Spain has become a country in which one in four households manifests reach ends meet with difficulty or great difficulty, a fact consistent with the fact that one in four workers is unemployed. And while layoffs occur and cuts, up the lights, turn up the gas, transportation rises, raises VAT, income tax rises ... And prices rise: between January 2008 and August 2012 the increase was 9.6%.
"A liter of petrol now but you better coffee," says the former worker of financial Caja Madrid, Bankia today. "The car we have died laughing." Household savings have dwindled they had in recent years, especially since his wife, administrative, became unemployed. The eldest son, economist, 27, works as an intern in an insurer, as Luis says: "work for free". Overall, the income of this family of four (the youngest is 15 years) are 1,400 euros, which bills itself as prejubilado Luis (equivalent to 80% of their fixed salary, which does not include that variable before you charged and removed in February). The company I had worked for 23 years presented an ERE in June. The mortgage eats 600 euros. Another 300 takes them requested the loan to repay an advance. Are 500 to hold the entire month. The days went on vacation are a distant memory. The out door entertainment is long gone. "With what we have, you have to spend the whole month." Goodbye Book Club and paying dues to the union. And next month, goodbye to the 90 euros they paid to have television, telephone and Internet. "I worked and lived with some confidence, but everything has changed," he says. "Emotionally, you feel really bad. Still I have some juice to give, do not think it's just what happened to me. In 57 years, I have no option to find work. "
Doors INEM offices are populated with stories like Luis. Hortensia, exdependienta 48, that is very restless. Just go to the office Evaristo San Miguel Street, Argüelles, and knows that he only has a month's supply, one of his sons left school to work in Mercadona Computing and work has lasted three months, are three in the family, there is a youngest child, two, unemployed.
The silent victims of this tragedy that will permeate everyday Spanish society tell their story, they want to report the situation, but do not want to disclose his name, some, even the name, or even an initial. This is the case of a highly qualified professional of 50 years who worked at a large consulting and attends INEM office first. "Yesterday was my first Mondays in the Sun" laments. It has just become unemployed while her husband: "We have many friends of 50 years unemployed, what do the battalion of which have 50 to 67? We will not have pensions or Social Security ".
Cristina, 31, is pulling the savings and relies on his partner, who still works. Isabel, 55, who worked as a baker, said that just come home and white markings and outputs are over: playing together at home with friends to do cineforum with movies downloaded from the Internet. Jose Antonio complains that the crisis has turned many Spanish in "second-class citizens at a stroke." Luisa, 60, who has seen them pay cut both her and her husband, are concerned that your child is aged 33 and has a masters degree, but only managed to work on building up and pizzerias date.
Luis Fernandez, the visible head of the association of unemployed Adesorg, it is very clear: "The weather we have been unemployed situation we have adapted: we work in B, enslaved, and we are going out to eat as much meat pens chicken. But what will happen to the upper middle class worries me: you will soon find at this stage and the trauma will be brutal. Have set for life, even without the frills, to be ninguneados ".
